Drunkenness In France.

The French have never been considered

France stands seventh in respect to this
vice. But in recent years. encouraged some
what by the repeal of certain sumptuary
regulations, the increase in the consumption
Of spirits has been so great as to attract the
attention Of French statesmen. Last year
the French Senate appointed committee
to examine into the effect of spirits, not in
GLIDING cider, beer or light wines, upon the
French people The results of this inquiry
have been very disquieting, and the publica-
ton of the report has created great seDsa-
ton. In the wine growing regions of the
south and centre of the nation they drink
hardly any spirits; but in the north and
west they drink SO much that, did the same
proportion hold good all over France, she
would stand very near the head of the list of
drinking nations. This alarming state of
affairs has come about very rapidly, and in a
manner which shows very conclusively the
efficacy of legislation in suppressing the sale
and use Of intoxicants. From 1851 to 1880 IL
was law of France that no drinking place
should be opened without special police per-

Thoughtful Mrs. Fish.


The recent death of Mrs. Hamilton Fish
reyives the recollection of her life in Wash
lngton during the two administrations in
which her husband was at the head of: the
State Department. As the leading represen-
tative of officialdom in society she is remem-
bered as the embodiment of womanly grace
and dignity, and many stories are told of
how in her charming, peerless way she
proved, without display, her thoughtful con-
sideration for the comfort and convenience
OF other people. One of these stories relates
to kindness shown on one occasion to a
newspaper reporter. Harry O'Connor was
not only bright young journalist, but he
carried with him degree of personal dignity
seldom attained by the newspaper fraternity.
He had done some service in Washington
and had made the acquaintance of Charley
Godfrey's wine room, which was then locat-
ed on Pennsylvania avenue, near Fourteenth
street, and which stood so high in the esteem
OF connoisseurs that even gentlemen like
Hamilton Fish not infrequently purchased
teelr Drandies and Maderas at that mart.
OConnor was one day dispatched by his
newspaper to interview the secretary at
Garrlson's Landing, where he was spending
a vacation. The secretary being out when
the interviewer called, the servant took the
or with distinguished consideration. At
the close of pleasant conversation, in
which OConnor tried hard to be Just as
dignifed and elegant as the estfmable
lady herself, Mrs. Fish, with that combi-
nation OF tact and grace that never failed
her, begged to return the gentleman's card
You may possibly find further use for this
card" she said. 1t just happened that
OConnor's card case was pretty low at the
time, and, taking back the card in the spirit
In which it was offered, he thanked her for
her thoughtful kindness. Plate cards at
that time would probably cost about cents
each. Without looking at the card O'Con-
nor put it back into his case.
Some time afteIward he was relating the
incident for the edifcation of number of
friends that they might admire the thought
fulness of Mr.. Fish. ''I'd like to have that
card, one of the friends remarked. "You
can have 1t If you promise to take good care
of it, said O'Connor, and he opened his
card case and handed the card over. Then,
for the first time, it was noticed that on the
back of the card was this memorandum.
Don't forget to pay Godfrey on Saturday
1915 for whiskey" Then it occurred to
O'Connor that 1t was on account of the men,

was familiar to her, and she did not want

nit. In 1880, for some reason, this law was
abolished In five years the number of sa
looms increased forty thousand. In sixteen
years before that the total increase had been
only eight thousand. The use of spirits,
however, was on the increase before this law
was repealed. With stationary population
the number of Frenchmen brought to the
almshouses and hospitals is increasing each
year. Police expenses are increased, also
the expenses of criminal justice. These
facts have been revealed by the report of the

success Of the day was Mr.. Gladstone That
grand old man paid no attention to the royal
commands, but appeared in his regulation
outfit, light trousers and black coat, forming
an excellent compromise between the swai-
low tail and Prince Albert. A bright red
rose adorned his buttonbole. His flow of
spirits was ,great and he looked younger
than any of those who surrounded him as be
